Who said:"Men often become what they believe themselves to be. If I believe I cannot do something, it makes me incapable of doing it. But when I believe I can, then I acquire the ability to do it even if I didn't have it in the beginning"?

I know Mensan already answered but I wanted to elaborate, just because I can, so you can downrate me if you'd like. . Obviously it was Gandhi. What I believe is that he meant by thinking something impossible automatically shuts our brains off from trying to come up with a solution regardless. I liken it to our current use of war. How often do we ever try to actually try to understand those we disagree with and come up with a better solution? How often do we just jump to a decision to go to war? Use Iraq as a perfect example. They didn't have any serious WMDs, nor did they have any direct (or clear indirect) connection to anyone involved in 9/11. Yet here we are 6 years later still involved in violence in Iraq.
